This is the best summary I could come up with:

on Vancouver Island, Phoebe Gross leads a small group over a muddy flat at the mouth of Englishman River to capture juvenile salmon and gather information about where they live.

Since colonization of the area, development and industry have altered the Englishman River Estuary, traditional territory of the Nanoose First Nation, a partner in the Salmon Watersheds Lab research.

One aim of the collaborative research is to provide data to inform management decisions for Pacific salmon, in an effort to keep the important cultural, ecological and economic species healthy on Vancouver Island as the climate changes.

“Coastal squeeze is a huge factor for estuaries like the Englishman,” said Steve Henstra, a restoration biologist with the Nature Trust of British Columbia’s West Coast Conservation Land Management Program.

Restoration includes other actions, like planting estuary greenery, providing large, dead trees which small salmon use as protection from predators, and also dismantling built-up shorelines.

“With our limited amount of funds and effort, are we investing in something that … is going to exist in 100 years with sea level rise and climate change,” Henstra asks himself about the land acquired by the Nature Trust of British Columbia.
